We recently visited Mémo after being inspired by glowing food vlogs & the chef's reputation. Having dined at over 100 Michelin-starred restaurants worldwide (from Europe to Asia & North America), we approached this intimate Montreal spot with high but open expectations for the 5-course dégustation menu with wine pairings.

The first two courses delivered real excitement creative, well-executed, & full of flavor. We were genuinely anticipating the rest of the meal to build on that strong start.

Unfortunately, everything unraveled from the third course onward. The dishes became increasingly lackluster, culminating in a beef course that was completely tasteless & poorly seasoned a shocking low point in what should have been a highlight. There was no digestive offered or even suggested at the end of the meal, not coffee or tea with dessert. Which felt like a basic oversight in a tasting-menu format at this price level.

Service, while initially attentive, dragged significantly: we waited a full 20 minutes just to settle the bill after the meal concluded, which killed any lingering positive momentum.

The $20 cocktails were forgettable at best mediocre mixes that didn't justify the price.
For those who haven't experienced many top-tier restaurants, Mémo might feel impressive due to the intimate setting & chef interaction. But for seasoned fine-dining enthusiasts, this was one of the most average & inconsistent experiences we've had in recent years. The early promise simply wasn't sustained, & at dégustation pricing, consistency across all courses is non-negotiable.

We won't be returning & can't recommend it to anyone familiar with true high-end cuisine. Sad to note great potential is there, but execution fell far short.
